      Good company overall - Product Manager Payworks Employee Review

      Pros

      - People. Everyone is really smart and really cool. Everyone is very cool when it’s not work related stuff. People from all over the world. - A lot of cool company and team activities like ski trips, bowling, beer o clock and Oktoberfest. So you really bond with everyone. - You could also get the chance to relocate for some months to one of their offices in London, NYC or Poland. -Home office and remote work is pretty common. - Personal development budget for conferences and courses, you choose what you want. - Vacations are flexible as long as you agree with your manager on good timing (no project pressure)

      Cons

      - ALWAYS a loooooot of work. - Always pressuring timelines and deadlines because they want to impress clients. - A lot of the space for creativity and innovation has been left out due to only doing projects for clients and not having enough devs. - You will do overtime always, and everyone does it. And I would even dare to say its expected. - Salaries are not good. - Everyone is super busy and have little time to help you out. This is always. They have good or at least fair documentation and expect you to figure out everything on your own. As Product Manager: For the product manager development process they lost a bit of sight of PMing, since HoP and the whole company overall wants you to be technical and focus on that. Yes, it is a technical product, but that should be the Engineers job, to shape the PMs ideas and solutions. They want you to think as a developer, and by so every document, every proposal and idea has to shaped as such. I really disliked this. Devs always complained about everything not being technically good enough. There should be middle ground that would allow PMs more problem solving creativity.

      Hi, Thanks for taking the time to write this! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the work atmosphere, activities, flexibility, the colleagues and the team. We also are very proud and feel fortunate to have worked and work with such talented and amazing people. Thank you also for your candid feedback on the elements you were not that happy with. If you have left us during the last months, we will have heard your points in detail during the feedback conversation we have now established with every leaver, and hope that you shared your thoughts openly and in detail back then. If not, we would love to hear from you directly in more detail; please reach out to us! We are very proud of our success and the growth that Payworks is continuing to show, as it enables us to grow our team and provide new opportunities to our existing employees. However, we also see that this success can lead to some growing pains and we are actively working on measures like adding additional teams or strengthening our Product organisation. Best, Nina

      Pros

      - Great culture and people - Lots of opportunities for personal growth due to the size of the company and the fast pace of change - Work from home - As a team you can create and drive in-house projects - Developers decide on the technology stack being used, which usually results in the selection of the cutting edge technologies - Good hiring process in place which enables the company to hire the best people - Regular feedbacks - open-minded CEO and CTO who listen to employees

      Cons

      - Salary and benefits could be better - Sometimes work (scoping, clear boundaries etc.) can feel chaotic due to the nature of the company, but those things are usually quickly addressed. On the other hand that chaos provides the opportunity to bring your own expertise and ideas.

      Pros

      You really feel like a part of a team and can feel how everyone's work contributes to the end goals of the company. Working here, you do make a difference. Other than that, free German courses, hardware/software, fruits & coffee, amazing office space and even better company events! A huge plus is that there really is a flat hierarchy.

      Cons

      I wouldn't say it's a big Kontra, but still worth mentioning - sometimes there is a need for overtime work. However nobody forces you to stay longer and the work time is quite flexible - you can arrive later or earlier and leave accordingly if there are no meetings. Yeah, and the coffee is only OK. But new coffee machine is arriving soon!
